Well, I can only speak for myself being gay but I know quite a few other gay people that want nothing to do with Hillary and are voting for Trump. BTW, the track record of GOP politicians is a thing of the past. This is 2016, not 1973. The GOP is far more encompassing than liberals want to admit and that's without the fear mongering the Dems use to gain votes, much like you are doing now.

The Dems don't have to engage in fear mongering to get gay votes. All gay voters have to do is look at the Republican track record, which is terrible in regards to gay issues because the GOP panders to the votes of Bible humping fundies who think gays are an abomination.
How many other gay people do you know? 15-20 maybe? About 1.7% of the US population identifies as gay. That's almost 5.5 million people. If 5% of those gay people vote Republican, that's about 275,000 people. Seems like a lot (especially if you are running across them on conservative sites) but in reality it is a minuscule segment of the gay population.

This is not a normal election year and Trump is gay friendly. People don't only vote by party affiliation. You'd be surprised. I never said he was going to get the vast majority of the gay vote, but he's going to get a lot more than you think he is.
I think Mr. Trump is LGBT-neutral, at least. I haven't really heard him say anything degrading about them.
However, we know from his list of possible nominees that he will appoint a hardcore righty or two to the Supreme Court. As a result, the SCOTUS can easily overturn Obergefell, Lawrence, etc. Vote at your own risk. I am sure the Democrats will drive this point home after the conventions.
But at the end of the day, LGBT comprise of estimated 1-2% of the US population, and they will, at worse, vote 50-50 for our candidates, their votes are not likely to affect the outcome.
My account here isn't fake. In fact, I've been here longer than you.
Of course Hillary supporters only know personal attack as response.
Wut? I am talking about the Twitter account you mentioned for LGBT Phoenix.
